"The Law"
God is more concerned about the state of our heart than our outward actions. If you look at the Pharisee's of the New Testament, they were great at keeping the law...and doing it on display for all to…

who cares about PC
I think it's funny how the one Pharisee says, "hey, you are insulting us here"....Yet Jesus kept letting them know what they were doing is wrong. Our reverence of political correctness is ultimately what…

Romans 12:1
Romans 12:1 (MSG)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.Created about 1 year ago

Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious.
